Learning Support Pathway

Learning Support Pathway

This system of steps to enhanced learning support has been created to address specific student need for learning support and/or school counseling at Le Jardin Academy. It should be noted that all students will be supported by their classroom teachers in partnership with the school counselor and administration in Steps 1 and 2, through communication, differentiation and best teaching practices. Steps 3 and 4 are supports at varying degrees involving classroom teachers, learning support coordinators, parents, and administrative faculty.

-Diagnosed Disability: Any student with a diagnosed learning disability is a tier three student. Learning Support Coordinators (LSC) will create a Learning Support Plan relevant to the diagnosis. Learning Support Plan (LSP) accommodations are our legal responsibility to provide.

– Disability Suspected: Learning Support Coordinator (LSC) will administer further tests with parent permission, or recommend parents have student evaluated by an Educational Evaluation Specialist.

– No Disability Suspected: LSC will create a plan of action which may include conferences, classroom observations, and a Learning Support Plan with recommendations only.

NON-RESPONSIVE to Step Three: If student does not respond (as determined by Learning Support Coordinators) to Tier Three Strategic Support and/or LSP, LSC will meet with Admin and Student’s parents to discuss options including those in Tier Four.

RESPONSIVE to Step Three: Teachers and LSC will continue implementing Learning Support Plans and revisit to update as necessary.
